So yesterday i was very happy to get alot of responses,
Thank you
But Now that i ordered an english version of the quran online,
I was wondering if Muslims visit your home to teach you the faith or if you need to go to classes?
I live in Waterbury, CT -USA -I have sent an email to the site but that was months ago and I received no response, I am sort of intimidated to call them, not afraid just , I am kind of shy that way, Email is easier, anyways how do I go about learning about islam and its practices. I have 3 sons, 2 of them are still babies, so i probably wouldn’t be able to attend a class, and my husband is always working.

If you have any advice I would appreciate it,
Thanks
Meg

As a New England vacation travel writer I’ve always considered Connecticut an overlooked state when people choose destinations and attractions for a New England vacation. As you’ll discover here a Connecticut vacation offers excitement… or peace and quiet, depending on your mood.

Let’s take a quick look at seven reasons why you should consider a Connecticut vacation for your next New England trip.

THE MUSEUMS OF CONNECTICUT

With more than 14 diverse theme museums in Connecticut, there’s bound to be something to suit your taste. Here’s a quick rundown…

Bridgeport is home to The Barnum Museum and Discovery Museum, and at Danbury you’ll find the Military Museum of Southern New England and the Danbury Railway Museum. Keeping with a train theme Thomaston hosts the Railroad Museum of New England and Naugatuck Railroad.

In Bristol you can find The New England Carousel Museum and period time pieces at the American Clock and Watch Museum. Just a little south in Waterbury is Time Expo, and a chance to celebrate the heritage of the Litchfield region at the Mattatuck Museum. At the Connecticut Antique Machinery Museum in Kent experience machinery that once drove commerce in the area.

Windsor Locks is not just home to Bradley International Airport but also to the New England Air Museum and south in East Haven experience another form of transportation at the Shore Line Trolley Museum.

And rounding out our must-see list is Mystic’s Museum of America and the Sea, and the fabulous Mashantucket Pequot Museum in nearby Mashantucket.

THE CONNECTICUT WINE TRAIL

Wineries in Connecticut? Yes, in fact there’s 16 of them scattered throughout the state, and they make a perfect basis for a Connecticut Vacation. The climate in Connecticut is mild compared to the rest of New England and wines produced include: Chardonnay, Cabernet, Merlot, and Riesling. While Connecticut wines have only been produced since 1978, many farms where the grapes are grown are hundreds of years old. The wine tasting room will usually be open but call ahead for a tour time. You’ll find these wineries not geared for large bus loads, but on the plus much more intimate than wineries in Northern California.

The wine trail is split into two major regions and it’s suggested your tour is split up over three to four days. But because the trail takes you near so many other destinations and attractions in Connecticut let yourself be distracted and enjoy the jaunt through scenic and historic New England towns.

FOXWOODS AND MOHEGAN SUN

Combined Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun make the largest casino complex in the world. Foxwoods in owned and run by Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, and Mohegan Sun by Mohegan Tribe on lands they own in Uncasville. These are sophisticated high-style experiences with shopping complexes, hotels, high profile entertainment acts, and top-rated restaurants. They are both close to each other and located in the eastern region of Connecticut, and close to museums, scenic drives, and the Connecticut vacation attractions in Mystic.

HISTORIC HOMES OF CONNECTICUT

Perhaps the most famous home to see on your Connecticut vacation is Mark Twain’s in Hartford, which is now a museum as well full of many artifacts he accumulated in the 17 years he lived there. Also in Hartford is the home of Harriet Beecher Stowe - of Uncle Tom’s Cabin fame. Another famous woman’s home is the academy run by Prudence Crandall in Canterbury - it’s the site of the first academy for black women in New England. Your trip to Connecticut should include the town of Litchfield where you can view museum quality preserved colonial homes, and the Litchfield History Museum and Tapping Reeve House and Law School.

Connecticut includes many historic homes that played an important role in the Underground Railroad and the African-American journey from slavery to freedom.

ESSEX STEAM TRAIN AND THE CONNECTICUT RIVER

The historic 1892 Essex station is your kick-off point for a unique vintage Steam Train and Riverboat Cruise along the Connecticut River. This combined tour takes 2 and 1/2 hours. In the summer it’s cooling, and in the fall stunning with the turning of the leaves. The Connecticut River Museum is also in Essex and vividly brings to life the river’s history as told through paintings, artifacts, and interactive exhibits.

THE TOWN OF MYSTIC

Mystic Seaport and the Mystic Aquarium are magnets for visitors to Connecticut. The seaport is billed as The Museum of America and the Sea and depicts an authentic 19th century seafaring village, tall ships to tour, and a Preservation Yard where master shipbuilding skills are still practiced. The Mystic Aquarium includes a delightful array of indoor and outdoor exhibits, including Beluga whales, and a stunning model of the Titanic.

THE ANTIQUE RUNS

Connecticut is famous for its concentration of antique shops, and draws thousands of treasure hunters each year who take a Connecticut vacation just to stock up on bargains and specimens to collect and decorate their homes. The village of Woodbury is known as the “Antiques Capital of Connecticut” and has over 45 dealers, but the fact is you’re never too far from that special purchase no matter where you are in the state. Just sometimes its nice to take the time to follow your nose along a scenic New England road and see where it takes you… you can bet if it’s in Connecticut, it’ll take you close to an antique shop.

If a tenant leaves 1 or two tinyl (probably irremovable) stains on an otherwise perfect white carpet, should they be financially responsible for it in its entireity? If so, should they have to replace it or just bleach/dye the stain(s)? Should they only have to pay a share of the cost?

Note: Apartment is more than rentable at original price for the neighborhood in question…

City: Waterbury, Ct
Thanks for the first answer, but I’m already assuming I’ll have to take the landlord to small claims court, so I’m most interested in the second part of the question…
lol I completely agree that white carpet is a bad idea in a rental…then again I was the joker who rented it! To clarify things in more detail, I’ve already moved out and did spot clean it extensively. That’s why the rest of the carpet is immaculate. The problem is a tiny red stain I didnt even realize existed until I moved a chair, so it presumably had plenty of time to get permanent. I spent a lonngggg time spot cleaning this stain, but to no avail. Basically now the stain is slightly lighter (though probably slightly bigger). The landlord is charging an arm and a leg over the security deposit, so I’ve done the paperwork to go to small claims court, and am hoping they’ll just throw it out or settle for at least just the security, but if that isnt the case…should I have to pay in full? does it make sense to bleach/dye the stain (something i didnt do) instead of replace it when its literally a tiny dot on an otherwise newish looking carpet?

Hello,
I moved into my apartment in waterbury,CT in December. I have been keeping a very close eye on a neighbors dog. He is a large breed dog chained to a tree 24/7 with no visual shelter. Everytime I am home I hear the dog barking and I tried to get close enough to see his condition better. From what I see he has no food or water outside but does not look skinny, his chain is not very long and hes constantly yanking on it (I am concerned about an embedded chain). When people are far away from him he will wag his tail and try to run twoards them but I tried approaching him once to give him food and to get a better look but his tail immedietely went in between his legs so I backed off.

I don’t want to cause problems for a neighbor but if this is abuse then I really feel the need to report them. I am looking for opinions on or suggestions on what I should do.

Thanks so much
